About the artist

Sun Ra

SUN RA: The Space Age Jazz Pioneer Picture this: It’s 1914 in Birmingham, Alabama. A baby is born under the name Herman Poole Blount, destined to become one of the most influential figures in jazz history. Fast forward a few decades, and that baby has transformed into the intergalactic jazz overlord known as SUN RA. SUN RA first made waves in the 1950s with his groundbreaking blend of jazz, free improvisation, and Afrofuturism. He famously claimed to be an alien from Saturn, and his music certainly sounds like it’s beamed in from another planet. With his Arkestra in tow, SUN RA became a force to be reckoned with on the jazz scene, pushing boundaries and challenging conventions with every note. His discography is vast and varied, ranging from the chaotic cacophony of "Atlantis" to the sublime beauty of "Space Is the Place." SUN RA's music is like a cosmic rollercoaster ride, taking listeners on a journey through the outer reaches of the universe and back again. But SUN RA was more than just a musician – he was a spiritual leader, a philosopher, and a visionary. His live performances were legendary, featuring elaborate costumes, fantastical stage sets, and mind-bending visuals. He truly was ahead of his time, laying the groundwork for generations of experimental jazz musicians to come. So if you’re looking to expand your musical horizons and take a trip to the outer limits of the cosmos, look no further than SUN RA. Strap in, buckle up, and prepare for a sonic adventure like no other.
